That's a great list so far. You can also add:
Tailor
Miller (the most important job in any village)
Cobbler
Shoemaker
Paper maker (I'm sure there is a better name for this)
Jeweler
Rope maker
Clockmaker (Even if it's a sundial or hourglass)
Locksmith
Brothel
Mint
Pipe or Tabac shop
Horse trader (stables)
Dairy (Cheese, butter)
Nursemaid
"Healer" (someone good with remedies of all types)
Not to mention that there were different types of smithies in the larger
towns. One for weapons, one for Armour, one for pots and pans, etc....
In a seaport there would be shops selling navigation aides, such as a
sextant, brass quadrant, astrolabe, cross staff, octant, etc.) You would
also have warehouses of sorts to store cargo before the owner came to
retrieve it.
